Resumen

El estado de flujo o de flow es un estado mental que, en el contexto del comercio electrónico, genera placer al internauta comprador, provoca que se implique y disfrute con la tarea que está realizando, y pierda la noción del tiempo. Todo ello produce al consumidor una elevada gratificación emocional y una satisfacción con la visita y/o compra realizada en el sitio web.El presente artículo tiene como finalidad estudiar la importancia relativa y conjunta de cinco factores que la literatura ha detectado relevantes en el surgimiento de estado de flow: estética del sitio web, facilidad de uso del mismo, personalización de los contenidos, demostrabilidad y calidad de los contenidos. El contexto analizado ha sido la compra de ropa en dos sitios web monomarca: Zara y H&M. Los resultados obtenidos permiten concluir que los factores claves en el surgimiento de estado de flujo son la personalización de los contenidos y la facilidad de uso del sitio web. Sin embargo, las empresas analizadas llegan a alcanzar resultados similares con estrategias comerciales diferenciadas pues H&M obtiene niveles similares de flujo a partir de la estética de la web en lugar de la facilidad de uso de la misma, como es el caso de Zara.
